Looking good Foz. Going back to the cannon balls, I coated them with a layer of clear varnish after the initial fixing, just to make sure they are held tight. happy b uilding.

Well then Have finaly finished the quarter deck planking so here is what she is like before i stained it.  And after.  Allthough i used the same satin as on the upper gun deck it seems to look a bit darker. But i can live with it. Regards Foz

Excellent work! Quick question: how do you apply the stain so neatly? Whenever I try (using the Admiralty Walnut wood stain), it always comes out a bit hit and miss.

Amipl
I just use cheap wood stain from Wicos, trhere own brand and use a normal paint brush, but just use it along the same way as the planks laid.
Hope this helps
